I love the work being done on Trout Run

Sandy and lacking organic matter. If you've never been there you 'all have to check it out sometime. It is a STW flowing through Michaux SF and Caledonia SP. There is a parking lot along 233 where the old reservoir was. There is a trail that is an easy hike down to the crick.

Sounds good. I was there decades ago, but it would be interesting to see it again.

In forested parts of the state there are many places where old splash dams and sawmill dams have been gone for about a century, and the vegetation is still pretty open, not fully reforested. The reason IMHO is that the legacy sediment is elevated well above the stream level, and it's sandy material, so in the summer that soil is dusty dry so trees don't grow well there.
